After touring Provence, our family is traveling to Liguria and Torino in June. Wondering if there is a boat to Liguria? Is there a train from Provence to Liguria and Torino? Would love a sleeper train, if they are available from Provence. Thanks in advance for the responses.

Once you make it to Nice there are plenty of Regional trains to Ventimiglia, from which you can reach anywhere in Liguria. There is also the Thello train that goes to Milan.
Check the German rail site

Or the Italian one

There are no sleeper trains for this route and no ferries (unless you count by way of Corsica).

tirachou, Provence is the name for south-east France. It is a large area and there are dozens of towns in Provence which have rail services.
Here is the official rail map of Provence showing all the lines and stations: http://cdn.ter.sncf.com/medias/PDF/paca/Carte-r%C3%A9seau-TER-PACA-2014_tcm65-18529_tcm65-18528.pdf
The question is where in Provence do you want to travel from? And, since Liguria is also a region where in Liguria do you want to travel to?
Once you know where you want to go, just look it up in your favourite rail timetable website, for example DB: https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml
